PROCEDURE 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
GENERAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery/seating system. This will change
your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as
wheelchair may tip over.
WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheel-
chair with the wheel locks.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair onto the rear wheels without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury
may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS EN-
GAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT use wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overin-
flate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause
bodily harm. Recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
DO NOT use ANY parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by
Invacare. Otherwise, the warranty is void.
DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts.
Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in
injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times.
DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair,
make sure that the footplates are in the upward position.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the HANDRIMS are an
option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare
strongly recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the
wheelchair user.
DO NOT use the spreader bar for lifting or transporting the wheelchair. DO NOT use
the spreader bar as a weight bearing support.
